Volumes have been stated on this subject, and the conflict and disharmony about where the "hot" slot games are positioned in the casino are still rampant – over sixty years after one armed bandits were 1st placed in gambling houses.

The traditional rule is that the very best slot machine games were located just inside the main entry of the casino; so that casino fanatics going by would be able to see actual jackpot winners … be intrigued enough to come into the casino … play. Our resolve is that this is no longer the case.

Most of the large casinos these days are colossal complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ one armed bandits near any exits.

Another classic rule is that loose slots are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be motivated to play. Interestingly though, we find that this also is no longer a universal rule.

What casinos found over the years is that people walking down the busy aisles were frequently on the way to somewhere else. If they played slot games at all, they would simply put in their loose change because they happened to be walking by. Win or lose, they would very often not stop to keep playing. And the very last thing a casino wants is for someone to win a jackpot by playing only a few coins and then not stay to put it all back in!

These days, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot machine games.
